Satellite Dish Installation in Shotts
Shotts (North Lanarkshire, pop. ~9k) takes its Freeview signal from the Black Hill mast, 6 km to the north-west. For satellite installation, tell us your postcode and your enquiry goes to the installer covering Shotts — one company, no lead auction.
Reception in Shotts
Shotts receives Freeview from the Black Hill transmitter , broadcasting on Group K with horizontal polarisation at 100 kW.
Aerials here point NW (bearing ~316°) toward the mast, 6 km away. At 6 km from the mast, signal in Shotts is strong — a standard 18-element yagi, often loft-mounted, is usually all that's needed.
Where terrain or buildings shadow Black Hill, installers working Shotts can often realign to Darvel (39 km south-west) or Craigkelly (45 km north-east) — a decision made with a signal meter on the roof, not guesswork.
Covers central Scotland including Edinburgh and Glasgow. Fifth largest UK transmitter by population covered.
